Theatre time – Treasure Island

This is the time of year that gets me back into theatre photography, which I love.
It’s a huge challenge photographing the final dress rehearsal before the first night, as in most cases I have no idea where the action is going to be taking place on stage ! This requires constant rapid changes of exposure to cope with the varying lighting, as well as trying to focus through the fog haze.
This year’s performance of Treasure Island from Churcher’s College Senior School tested my skills to the limit with some exceptionally low lighting states in some of the acts, but I
think the results speak for themselves

Greenpeace video

Busy day yesterday filming with #greenpeace in and around Langstone Harbour. Four different locations, lots of script variations and dodging showers to film the aerial sequences with the drone. Thanks to Karen Pearsall for looking after some tricky sound issues (who knew wireless lavaliers could work that far away !)

How Professional Photographers Transform Your Brand’s Narrative

In today’s visually-driven world, having stunning photographs that effectively convey your brand’s narrative is crucial to success. While you may be tempted to cut corners and take photos yourself, nothing beats the aesthetic mastery and technical proficiency of a professional photographer. In this article presented by Chris Pearsall Photography, we will discuss why professional photographers are indispensable in crafting a brand’s narrative.

The Art of Aesthetic Excellence 

First, a professional photographer brings aesthetic mastery. Professional photographers have a trained eye for composition, lighting, and colour that amateurs simply cannot match. They know how to create captivating images that evoke emotion and tell a story. When you hire a professional photographer, you can trust that they will produce high-quality images that truly represent your brand.

Technical Precision 

Secondly, skilled photography experts have technical proficiency. Professional photographers understand the technical aspects of photography such as camera settings, lenses, and lighting. They know how to achieve the desired effect and can adjust their approach as needed for different situations. They also have access to high-end equipment and software that amateurs may not.

Reap the Benefits of Consistent Branding

Thirdly, with a professional, your branding looks consistent. Professional photographers work closely with your brand to create a consistent look and feel. They understand your brand’s values, style, and tone, and can incorporate those into the images they create. This consistency helps to build brand recognition and makes your brand memorable.

Tailoring Your Brand Story

Fourthly, pro photographers usually offer a tailored approach. Professional photographers take the time to understand your unique needs and create a customised approach for your brand. They may suggest different types of images or settings depending on your brand’s niche and target audience. This tailored approach ensures that you get exactly what you need to effectively tell your brand’s story.

Innovative Techniques 

Lastly, an experienced photographer usually provides innovative techniques. Professional photographers are constantly pushing boundaries and experimenting with new techniques. They’re always on the lookout for unique angles and perspectives that will help your brand stand out. Their innovative techniques help to make your brand’s narrative fresh and exciting.
